One of the most prevalent health and environmental problems, particularly in developing countries, is air pollution. It can lead to diabetes, lung cancer, cardiovascular and other diseases. Particle emission comes from a wide range of both natural and antropogenic sources. Particle emissions in agriculture originate from a number of activities, including tillage, planting, applying fertilizers and pesticides, harvesting, and controlled burning of plant residues in fields. Burning biomass represents one of the most prevalent ways of generating particulate matter (PM). Wind erosion of soil (mostly fine sandy and peaty soils) is another particulate matter source containing particles with larger sizes. This particle source can be significant at certain times of the year
